The military suddenly beheaded Yuan Bolang, and the balance of the situation was broken. A bowl of water fell a pebble, breaking the peace.

The imperial court immediately convened an emergency military meeting overnight, and although the incident was not publicly characterized as a rebellion, in fact everyone in the imperial court thought so. And Liu Yu still did not participate in this meeting, and at the same time, Xu Xuanzhu, who is the coach of the women's army, was not invited to participate. Originally, the relationship between Su Yan and Liu Yue was slightly smoother, and it became tense again.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, on the third day when Yuan Bolang was killed by the military, the imperial court Pegasus sent a decree to the military camp outside Tongguan to prohibit the army from crossing Tongguan and entering Guanzhong, and at the same time, there was a tense appearance inside and outside Tongguan, and even Pegasus galloped back and forth in a few days inside and outside Chang'an City, which seemed to make people feel that the imperial court was going to war again.

In the past two years, the Shun Dynasty court, with Chang'an City as the political center, has won every battle, and winning a complete victory has become the designated action of the conference. The people felt that the court could still win this time, but they didn't know that the enemies that the court would face this time were precisely the soldiers who had helped the court make meritorious contributions, and those were also the children of the people in Guanzhong.

Fratricide, and if the people knew about it, they wouldn't accept it. They were still hoping that the men from their expedition would return to join them before the New Year. But the imperial court has clearly blocked the way to this reunion.

Hua Ji'an became a figure on the cusp of the imperial court for a while. As a general of the border army, he openly usurped power and became the commander of the three armies of the imperial court, and ignored the laws of the imperial court, and openly killed the imperial court's envoy Yuan Bolang, a meritorious veteran, which was tantamount to putting the Shun dynasty on the verge of civil strife. As a party to this matter, Hua Ji'an actually seems very innocent. Because he is simply a servant. And by this time he was no longer the manager. Even the position of deputy marshal is a fictitious title, and the border army of the imperial court is now under Liu Yu's full control, and it is not Hua Ji'an who ties Liu Yu to take care of the entire army, but Qi Fang.

Yuan Bolang was killed, which was also instructed by Liu Yu.

The reason why Liu Yu wanted to kill Yuan Bolang started from the fact that the military's spies gradually infiltrated Chang'an City.

Liu Yu seems to have put everything in his hands, even the military and political affairs have been stolen by Hua Ji'an, and he is like an idler in Chang'an City. But Mr. Liu's way of wielding power is unique. That is the "remote control" mode, and the remote control that Liu Yu relies on is the transmission system of the female army and the Huo Disease Department. If Liu Yu has any decision, he will convey it to the border army through these channels as soon as possible, so that the Qi side can make arrangements.

Hua Ji'an showed his wisdom in this regard, he did not complain, and even ceded power. Because he knew that Liu Yu's prestige for the border army was beyond his reach, and at present, only Liu Yue could solve the contradiction between the military and the imperial court, and also ensure that the military people would not be liquidated by the imperial court.

The first thing that the military spies entered Chang'an City and investigated was that the imperial court was currently targeting Liu Yu's enemies. Most of these spies were mixed among the merchants who came and went to Chang'an City from all over the country. A large part of them were mixed in the business travelers of Huaidi, because Liu Yue was a northerner. Therefore, no one would suspect that there would be military spies hidden among the Huai people. In fact, most of the spies Liu Yu called this time were also natives of Huai. After investigation, Liu Yu soon discovered that the reason why Yang Lie's intelligence system was paralyzed was because Yang Lie had already thrown himself into the "hostile camp" at this time, and this was the first person in Liu Yu's camp to defect to the enemy. Yang Lie is a son of a family, and Liu Yu also understands that he is loyal to the imperial court. But at the same time, it also made Liu Yu feel that the imperial court was likely to investigate from Yang Lie that he was currently falsely dismissed, and in fact controlled the military power of the three armies.

But the truth is exactly the opposite.

Although Yang Lie betrayed, it was obvious that he was not the current Son of Heaven, nor was he the current person in power in the court, and Liu Yu couldn't detect who Yang Lie had taken refuge into. This made Liu Yu feel extremely pressured, which meant that his biggest enemy behind the scenes was probably not Su Bi and Yuan Bolang or even Su Yan that he was worried about, and in desperation, Liu Yue urgently recruited the three armies back to Chang'an City.

A struggle for the supreme position is likely already underway in the shadows.

Liu Yu couldn't investigate the culprit behind the scenes, but judging from his speculation, the culprit behind the scenes was most likely Su Zhe, the king of Chu, who had been secret.

After Su Zhe disappeared, he first took refuge in King Huai, and then disappeared mysteriously. Liu Yu's search for Su Zhe has not stopped, but the resistance encountered during this period is something Liu Yu never expected. Su Zhe is not alone in the confrontation with the imperial court, there is an organization behind him, the rigor and scale of this organization are beyond Liu Yu's imagination, and many of the detailed works sent by Liu Yu to investigate this matter have already died, and the death is unknown.

This behind-the-scenes force is likely to have been prepared by the old emperor Su Yunyang for his son's smooth accession to the throne, although Su Yunyang had great trust in Liu Yu at that time, he obviously kept a hand. Although Liu Yu helped Su Yan usurp the throne, Liu Yu was unable to get some information from the behind-the-scenes intelligence system.

The first thing Liu Yu suspected was Han Sheng, the number one person in the old emperor's intelligence agency.

Although Liu Yu didn't want to doubt the people around him, Han Sheng's special identity made Liu Yu have to doubt this old friend.

But Liu Yue synthesized all aspects of the situation and denied Han Sheng, if Su Yunyang wanted to arrange the funeral, obviously there could be no collusion between these people, Liu Yue was the president of the Imperial Forest Army on the surface to ensure Su Zhe's succession, although Han Sheng was the head of the intelligence agency, he was also Liu Yu's in-law, and the two of them still forgot to make friends. Su Yunyang would not fail to consider their relationship.

Qian Hui, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was actually a breakthrough point, but unfortunately Liu Yue was in a hurry at the beginning, and in order to stabilize Su Yan's heart, he sent the money back to the imperial court, so that Qian Hui, who was likely to know the details, died very early and failed to investigate more useful information. Liu Yu immediately thought of his second brother Liu Ting, who took the initiative to contact the King of Chu at the beginning, but was later abandoned, but he may also know the news.

It's a pity that when Liu Yue wanted to continue to investigate along the clues, news came from his hometown that Liu Ting "hanged himself" for no reason.

Liu Ting, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, will die, which makes Liu Yue extremely uneasy. Liu Yu immediately wanted to ease relations with the imperial court so that Su Yan could settle his old suspicions with him, but this effort was in vain. The imperial court, led by Yuan Bolang and Su Bi, was agitating Su Yan to carry out a major purge of the military in order to gain absolute control over the army.

Liu Yu saw that since the contradiction could not be resolved, it was better to be ruthless, so that the enemy behind the scenes thought that the court and the military had reached the point of irreconcilability.

Liu Yu immediately ordered Yuan Bolang to be killed.

Yuan Bolang has been vicious with his intentions, and he has long been arranging a plan to get rid of Liu Yu, although it has not yet been implemented, which means that Liu Yu is defending himself first.

This killing also made the three factions of the imperial court, the military, and Liu Yu's behind-the-scenes enemies completely opposed. (To be continued......)
